Editors Heinberg (Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, Case Western U.), Thompson (U. of South Florida), and 22 contributors provide an overview and background of one of America's most significant health crises: an epidemic of obesity in the country's children and adolescents. The authors begin by introducing readers with dietary patterns and major genetic influences and later focus on prevention and treatment. But a primary focus of the book is the psychological aspects of obesity: teasing, body image, mental disorders, and psycho-social consequences. The book will interest public and mental health officials as well as researchers and academics. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
